That DeadDeer is one smart cookie! He is the one who taught us all about the fact that since the herd is smaller now it will take less antlerless permits to reduce the OW herd.

AND

He made the point so succinctly that even if you make wmu's smaller, it won't make a shred of difference, IF they are still ebing managed for an average goal of 12dpsm.

reducing the herd by 50% is what you should be keeping your eye on, How much pie the PGC plans on serving, not how many slices of the pie they will slice for you. !!!!!

I specifically asked about less, = , or more doe tags for pa at the Jan 23, 24, 25 meeting .......because that is the major issue with hunters who are seeing fewer deer.

Smaller WMU's is a nice to have, so that if the PGC ever does begin to manage the herd scientifically they would have more control over where those tags are used, but remember deaddeer is the man because he is the one keeping his eye on the ball....

In the reduced herd it will take less tags this year to reduce the OW herd. There better be some talk in Harrisburg with the team about that.
